A little hill at the start to get warmed up on. The second picture shows the main attraction.
I went first since I didn't have a locker. I stalled a few
times before realizing I hadn't turned my fuel pressure regulator down. As you can see my line zig zagged across the hill,
avoiding any large off camber spots. Bobby tried a harder line. His left rear tire fell
into a hole and I got this cool sequence. Ken made the climb look easy. There were some big sandpiles at the end of the trail. It was pretty fun racing up and down the hills.
The White Tank mountains are
located about 20 miles west of Phoenix. We had a great time on the run and
conquered a pretty impressive obstacle.
